I begged him back even though I was the one with the bruises.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">That was the first incident and not the last, I still went on ahead and moved in with him, but this made him feel like he had power over me, I had no where to go, I was his and he could do what ever he wanted to me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I changed, I withdrew in to myself, became a recluse stopped seeing my friends and suffered with really bad anxiety but because I was so blinded by what I thought was 'Love' I didn't know these were the reasons for my unhappiness.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It got so bad that on a few occasions I thought he might of killed me, he sat on top of me after throwing me to the floor and put his hands around my throat, I ended up with carpet burn on my chest and a black eye where he smacked my laptop in to my face.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g-90b0ghMRA/V7NssDBqBVI/AAAAAAAABCk/nOlEZ3xKZJ47C_BUMZxUaxIfBdIpaM9OwCLcB/s1600/Abuse%2Bcollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g-90b0ghMRA/V7NssDBqBVI/AAAAAAAABCk/nOlEZ3xKZJ47C_BUMZxUaxIfBdIpaM9OwCLcB/s400/Abuse%2Bcollage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I took these photo's because I hoped I would have the courage to do something about it one day, I once called the police and they took him away, he spent a night in the cell's and he broke up with me, but once again I felt so bad I begged him back.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He called me crazy and psycho and that I deserved everything he did to me and I believed him, he told me that no other man would want me, after hearing these things over and over again you just believe that they must be true and that you could do no better.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He was brainwashing me to stay with him, and the abuse carried on, the police were called again when my neighbour could hear me screaming, I stuck up for him and told them it was nothing, I had been abused for so long I started making up excuses for him and for my bruises.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">'Oh must of knocked in to something' or 'I don't know how that got there, keep coming out in bruises lately'&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I started wearing cardigans all the time or long sleeved tops, my weight spiralled out of control over the years we were together, comfort eating and such, I felt worthless, ugly and fat.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He had no shame, In the end I told my Dad some of the things that had been happening and he asked him if he had kicked me, he didn't deny it and told my Dad I deserved it for not speaking to him with respect, let's just say my Dad despised him and kept begging me to leave him, but I just couldn't I didn't think I had anywhere to go or no one would want me again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">So what changed? How did I leave?</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I had had enough of feeling rubbish about myself so I started going back to the gym and eating better, and the weight started to come off, I started feeling happier about myself and I even got attention from a guy at work, nothing happened with this guy but it made me realise I could do better and I told my ex I needed a break, he didn't give me much of a break as he kept asking for a decision but I managed to sort out living arrangements and made the final push and left.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Life has been a roller coaster and even though my life is so much better now and definitely on the up-side, there are still a few things that are holding me back because of him.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So for anyone reading this who is in a similar situation as I was, please don't give up and put up with it, I thought I would never be able to get out of it but I did and I am happy again, honestly truly happy, which is a feeling I never thought I would feel again, sort out arrangements before making any big decisions so you know you have somewhere to go, there is always a solution and even though it might seem like the most horrible way it will be the best decision you could ever make!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pY_AZiNsRvs/V7Ny6TqTXMI/AAAAAAAABC0/RTuvIH-jFqQjz2GlcoKfhJtmLZnQUixiwCLcB/s1600/Good%2Band%2Bbad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="341" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pY_AZiNsRvs/V7Ny6TqTXMI/AAAAAAAABC0/RTuvIH-jFqQjz2GlcoKfhJtmLZnQUixiwCLcB/s400/Good%2Band%2Bbad.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">You can see in the first picture how dead I am in the eye's the smile is false, the picture on the right is me now, so much happier and healthier!&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><b><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">Facts about Domestic Abuse:</span></b><br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 women are killed every week in the UK by a current or former partner</span></li></ul><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 in 4 women in England and Wales will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes and 8% will suffer domestic violence in any given year(Crime Survey of England and Wales, 2013/14)</span></li></ul><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Globally, 1 in 3 women will experience violence at the hands of a male partner (State of the World’s Fathers Report, MenCare, 2015)</span></li></ul><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Domestic violence has a higher rate of repeat victimisation than any other crime (Home Office, July 2002)</span></li></ul><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Every minute police in the UK receive a domestic assistance call – yet only 35% of domestic violence incidents are reported to the police (Stanko, 2000 &amp; Home Office, 2002)</span></li></ul><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The 2001/02 British Crime Survey (BCS) found that there were an estimated 635,000 incidents of domestic violence in England and Wales. 81% of the victims were women and 19% were men.

Great source of Omega 3, minerals and vitamins. Free from additives, fillers and artificial flavours &amp; preservative.<br /><a href="http://www.applaws.co.uk/">www.applaws.co.uk</a><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Darcy absolutely loved these and devoured them in like a minute, I gave them to her as a rare treat so if I purchase them again I would treat them the same as she is fussy enough as it is and I wouldn't want her getting even fussier, they were that good!&nbsp;</blockquote><br /><b>Molly's Mice | Spotty Catnip Mouse | Various Colours</b><br /><br />Handmade cat toy, filled with maximum strength leaf and flower dried catnip.<br /><a href="http://www.mollysmice.co.uk/">www.mollysmice.co.uk</a><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">This toy got destroyed, Darcy absolutely went crazy for this and wouldn't leave it alone in till it obviously went a bit stale, it was always wet where she would bite the hell out of it so I think she would give this toy a 10 out of 10 and I will definitely be purchasing another for her or maybe two.</blockquote><br /><b>Flying Frenzy | Limited Edition Cat Hampurr Special Fying Frenzy</b><br /><br />This Mini Flying Frenzy interactive toy had been made exclusively for Cat Hampurr, The original 39inch or 19inch long rods have been voted the best cat toys on the market (Amazon UK).<br /><a href="http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/">www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk</a><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">This toy started being put over the fireplace after first being played with but Darcy loved it that much that she found a way to get up there and pick it up with her mouth so I had to end up putting it away in a draw she couldn't get too, also this comes with a spare toy which is much needed as Darcy destroyed the first one, another 10 out of 10.</blockquote><br /><b>Meowing Heads | Complete wet food | Various Flavours | x2 85g</b><br /><br />Gently streamed pots of goodness! Made with nothing but 90% meat/fish, minerals and oils this complete wet food will satisfy any appetite.<br /><a href="http://www.meowingheads.co.uk/">www.meowingheads.co.uk</a><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Another favourite for Darcy she tucked in to this as soon as I opened it for her, which you can see if the photo's below.&nbsp;</blockquote><br /><b>&nbsp;Eden Pet Food | Complete dry food | multi meat &amp; fish formula | x1 500g</b><br /><br />&nbsp;Carefully tailored to match cats natural ancestral intake with 85% quality meat and fish, 15% fruit and vegetables, providing a low glycaemic index (G.I) and 0% grain, gluten, fillers &amp; hypoallergenic ingredients.<br /><a href="http://www.edenpetfoods.com/">www.edenpetfoods.com</a><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Me and Darcy had fun taking photo's with this one as she loved the smell of them so much she gave me some great poses, she also really liked the taste of them as she liked getting a bowl of them to eat.</blockquote><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

But the police think she's trouble, and when grandmother Eleanor tells her to forget them all and move on, there's no choice other than face the future - alone.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: &quot;merriweather&quot; , &quot;georgia&quot; , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Fourteen years on, Abi and Adam are a happy couple on the verge of parenthood. But when the past comes back to haunt Abi, the only way forward is to go back and uncover the truth - and reveal the dreadful secrets a mother has been hiding all these years</span></i></blockquote></blockquote><br /><br />When I started this book I had a vague idea of what this book may be about but it totally took me by surprise, what I loved most was how the author gave the characters their own voice we don't just hear the story from the main characters prospective, we hear it from her sisters and mother too.<br /><br />It starts off with an introduction in to Abigail's Story and how she comes home to find her Mother and twin sisters missing, we then move forward to 2015 and Abigail is narrating through letters she has written to her husband Adam, we also get to hear from Kathryn (Abigail's Mother) and Hannah and Lauren (Abigail's Twin sisters) who now live in Mull Bay.<br /><br />Hannah and Lauren have no recollection of their sister, Hannah starts to question why their Mother acts so secretive and why she rely's on their Grandmother Eleanor so much, brining some dark secrets to light.<br /><br />Well let's just say I was gripped from the start to finish of this book, I needed to know how a mother could just leave her child in that way and what were the reasons behind it all.<br /><br />One thing I found hard to grasp was how Abigail hadn't found her family already after all those years, her Grandmother tell's her to not bother looking for her family but any normal person would of, especially as they didn't seem to be that far away.<br /><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/1RRrqWr" target="_blank">Beneath the Surface</a> is written so beautifully and emotionally real, when reading you feel as if you are the character and you are going through every emotion as if it was you, there are so many shocking twists and it compels you to read more.<br />After I finished this book I felt like a part of me was missing, it affected me so much I could of cried.<br /><br />I would of preferred to have read the paperback version than a pdf on my phone but I was lucky enough that Heidi sent this along to me herself.<br /><br />If you are a fan of Books such as <a href="http://amzn.to/1VgaPek" target="_blank">One Day by David Nicholls</a>, <a href="http://amzn.to/1Vgb60R" target="_blank">Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn</a> and <a href="http://amzn.to/1Vgb9tn" target="_blank">The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins</a> then you would really love this book, I could actually see it making a good film or tv series.<br /><br />This book was released on the <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">24th of March</span></b> and you can buy it here:&nbsp;<a href="http://amzn.to/1RRrqWr" target="_blank">Link</a>.<br />Read other reviews on:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28196258-beneath-the-surface" target="_blank">Goodreads</a>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I rate this book a <span style="color: #ea9999;"><b>5</b></span> out of<span style="color: #ea9999;"><b> 5</b></span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nqSjdVUBoLg/Vv7JIJ_SyOI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/Tk_Xlk9UOS0UmhJ4lAPu3KGPkQ0ZBvNjw/s1600/book.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nqSjdVUBoLg/Vv7JIJ_SyOI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/Tk_Xlk9UOS0UmhJ4lAPu3KGPkQ0ZBvNjw/s1600/book.png" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Do you like the sound of this book and would you buy it?

5-10 minutes), you are mean't to drink one cup before breakfast everyday and the <a href="https://www.getnutriplan.com/products/slimkitten-morning-and-bedtime-teatox" target="_blank">BEDTIME TEA

I just have to look a burger and put on 10 pounds, and all I do is crave food, I don't know how people miss meals, I forget to eat dinner and my stomach is wining on like a hungry kid in africa.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. <b style="color: #e06666;">We have feelings- </b>I hate the way men roll their eye's if we see something cute, don't you understand we have a maternal instinct, we want to cuddle anything cute from babies, puppies and kittens, it's just our nature, and I am one of those women that like searching google for cute animal pictures!&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>5.&nbsp;<b><span style="color: #e06666;">Getting Ready</span></b>- See all boys do is moan at how long we take to get ready, do you think we want to take this long? I would love to just roll out of bed, shower and leave to go to work, but just doesn't happen, I would literally look like someone slapped me with a hobostick, when I start work at 6am I do the minimal but I still need to look presentable, but I envy guys! Yes you men, I envy you.</div><div><br /></div><div>6.&nbsp;<b><span style="color: #e06666;">Shaving</span></b> - I know I know men shave, but that's just their face (except the odd guys who maybe shave elsewhere, whitwoo) we have to shave our armpits, legs and our lady area, and pretty much everyday (Well I do unlucky me, yeti over here) it's just so god damn annoying, and the look on peoples faces when they see you have stubbly armpits. Mind you I rarely shave my leg's any more and when I do my lovely boyfriend goes crazy and rubs his foot up and down my leg exclaiming how smooth they are, luxury to him ;)</div><div><br /></div><div>7.<b><span style="color: #e06666;">Heels</span></b>- I don't understand this one myself sometimes, especially when my feet are crying out to me 'Why you stupid bitch why?' and I'm spending most of my night walking around bare foot, we want to look great for you guys, I know you don't understand why we wear them, but we think we look good and you should just accept it, and respect us as they really can hurt, unless you find the perfect ones, and man they are a dream when you do!<br /><br /></div><div>8.<b><span style="color: #e06666;">Organisation</span></b>- I don't know about you girls, but I like everything to have a place, and as soon as my boyfriend puts something in the wrong place, I go off on a mad one, it's got to the point he doesn't help me clean and if he does I just tell him to sit down, because I hate the way he does everything! Man, I'm fussy!.</div><div><br /></div><div>9.&nbsp;<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Sex</b></span> - How do they want it everyday? Like how is it possible to be horny all the time? Someday's I just want to chill and then the next thing I know, I have a certain someone dry humping my leg like a little chihuahua, we don't want it all the time boys, we're not a sex toy you can abuse when you want, man give us some slack!&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>10.<b><span style="color: #e06666;">We're not your slave</span></b>- Make yourself a sandwich! You have legs, god damn it I hate blokes like this, I have to look after myself let alone you as well, why don't you understand this! You're not dying you just have a cold, take some paracetamol and man up, I don't need to make you soup and wait on you hand and foot, you're a human being!&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have to say thank you to my darling boyfriend for helping me with this, and he is a a great example for a lot of these, I once ran out of tampons and he asked me ' Can't you just use cotton wool tied with a bit of string?' Really love? Really?</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I would love to hear your experiences, comment below what boys haven't understood about you.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div>MeMe Bookshttps://plus.google.com/106197030277669861647noreply@blogger.com91
